Chasing His 6th Mountain Goat — Derek W7DLZ on SOTA & QRP

Derek W7DLZ has earned the SOTA Mountain Goat award five times over and he’s closing in on a sixth. Since his first activation in September 2021, Derek has operated from hundreds of summits across six associations and twenty-two regions at a pace that’s hard to believe, and he shows no signs of slowing down.
In this episode we cover his preferred radio, antenna choices, and operating philosophy.
If you’re into SOTA, QRP field ops, or just want to hear what genuine passion for a hobby sounds like, this one’s for you.

Cutting Trees So I Can SEE My Antenna!

Cutting Trees So I Can SEE My Antenna!

Today we’re doing some unexpected antenna field maintenance… tree surgery! 🌳 The problem? The trees had grown so much that I could no longer clearly see the big Yagi from inside the shack camera. That might sound silly… until you’re rotating antennas and wondering what they’re about to hit!

We also need clearance for the prototype 160m vertical when the mast comes down, so out came the extendable electric chainsaw.

This video turned into a mixture of practical antenna maintenance, one-man-build philosophy and mild chaos… including my “full protective equipment” speech immediately followed by a shot of me wearing flip-flops. 🤦‍♂️

A lot of people say “just hire someone,” but running a small business and building everything around flexible one-man operation is exactly why these projects work in the first place.

Hope you enjoy the video – and if your antennas are disappearing into the trees… it might be time to get trimming!

PS – We’re not quite a 3-man business because we also have Gina who works part time and makes up all your accessory boxes. You can see Gina in this video: https://youtu.be/32D88rbkTwU
